OQ Technology launches MACSAT 2.0 mission
By launching this mission, OQ Technology becomes the first European company to target the Direct-to-Smartphone market using 3GPP-standardised NTN connectivity. Luxembourg-based OQ Technology has announced the signing of a contract and the official launch of its MACSAT 2.0 Direct-To-Smartphone Mission, a satellite communication project aimed at advancing 5G connectivity from space. Supported by the Government of Luxembourg through the LuxIMPULSE programme, led by the Luxembourg Space Agency and technically managed by the European Space Agency, the mission marks a major step forward in non-terrestrial networks. Building on the success of the original MACSAT 1.0 In-Orbit-Demo and NB-IoT technology developed by OQ, MACSAT 2.0 aims to develop 5G New Radio (NR) non-terrestrial network (NTN) direct-to-mobile communications in different bands with flexible beams. This technology will enable SMS and emergency broadcasting capabilities in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) for global connectivity. With MACSAT 2.0, OQ Technology becomes the first European company to address the Direct-to-Smartphone market for 3GPP standardised Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) connectivity, which is currently addressed mainly by US satellite companies. This places OQ Technology in a strategic position to enhance Luxembourg and the European connectivity infrastructure independence and resilience in space. This achievement enables OQ Technology to be at the forefront of European public and government initiatives, including IRIS². The Direct-To-Smartphone connectivity has gained recently a lot of attention in the defense sector with governments investing heavily in advancing resilient and secure cellular coverage over satellites in the battlefield, in addition to providing reliable communication during disasters for first-responders and communities. Omar Qaise, CEO of OQ Technology, commented: 'The MACSAT 2.0 mission represents a major milestone in satellite based 5G connectivity, solidifying OQ Technology's position as a European pioneer in non-terrestrial 5G. By demonstrating direct-to-mobile capabilities in Low Earth Orbit, we are paving the way for ubiquitous global communications that can transform how people and devices connect. We are honored to be leading this collaborative effort with the Luxembourg Space Agency and European Space Agency.' 'Luxembourg has been a frontrunner in satellite communication since the 80s. Direct to device, and direct to mobile communication represent a fantastic development, and have the potential to significantly impact our lives. We are looking forward to the MACSAT 2.0 mission and its developments,' said the Minister of the Economy, Lex Delles. The MACSAT 2.0 IOD Mission represents a collaborative effort between industry and government, showcasing Luxembourg's commitment to space technology innovation and OQ Technology's leadership in satellite based 5G solutions.
